Well I have to say I find myself in the same hole. Tried many distros
Mandrake, Fedora, Debian, Knoppix, Ubuntu, suse. They boot but can't
find my hardrive, I think is the Ati xpress chipset. Any clue in where
to get a driver that works or any other solution?
It's the ATI SB400 chipset. Will work with the SATA_SIL (Silicon Image)
driver starting with 2.6.11 - no distro seem to be _that_ current to
have the recently released stable kernel, so bad luck for a plain install.
You can still install with an IDE-ATA drive, compile a new 2.6.11 that
recognizes the SATA, copy over and install a bootloader. Worked for me.
Till now only two of my four SATA connectors work for me, the 2nd pair
has a different PCI ID than the 1st one - different controller? ;)
It works for now, but it isn't "pretty"...
With kind regards,
